It's not that I don't love California, but goddamn does the Pacific Northwest grab me like nothing else in the world.
Great pics OP, makes me get off my ass and experience some of this. Especially sad since I live in Seattle and all of this is mere hours away.
Albany Pine Bush, New York
It's a small area where the soil is mostly composed of sand and a thin layer of humus, the sand was left behind after a glacial lake drained into the Atlantic ocean via the Hudson river

So because of that, fires happened often in the area so all the trees are spaced far apart and the understory is made of grasses, forbs and shrubs
A lot of it is overgrown because it's in an urban area
>>487324
Haha I live like 5 miles from here, it really is a sweet area

Word yo, I used to live in the ghettos of Central Ave

Wallace Falls State Park is just outside of Gold Bar, off highway 2 and the Skykomish River. Issaquah is down south on I-90. Free geography lesson!
Also that doesn't look like Wallace Falls. Maybe it's a weird angle on the upper falls?
Looking through my photos I realize the camera doesn't usually emerge from its bag until I emerge from the treeline.

We did the whole trail from parking to lower to upper to Wallace Lake, then the bike trail back. Here's my version of the photo you posted.

... and that's too bad because the pnw has some really impressive trackless, dark, primordial forests.

It's a good place. Easy to access, open all year. Those losers at off-season Tiger Mountain can suck it.
Here's the typical low elevation second growth forest of the park in keeping with the topic.

I love ancient, mossy, fern covered green forests in Cumbria and western parts of the UK. Cumbria is the best county
The forests in Washington state are also beautiful.

Deciduous oak woodlands are the best but abandoned plantations are still pretty nice.

jesus fuck that place is a trip
I remember dropping rocks and big logs off of it and counting like 15 seconds until they hit the ground

Oh, hey. It's you. It's that guy, everybody. Welcome to the thread I guess.
>>487895

Australia reporting in.
Somewhere in Lapland.

Beautiful
>>486952
I've been there. Its beautiful, not a bad walk, but not what I'd call God tier. But to each his own.
>>486954
Go to Lake Quinault. Its about half an hour North from Aberdeen. You'll be stunned.
>>486965
All dat Scotchbroom. Goddamn, clear it and plant clover or grass or something that'll attract wildlife and give you room to do shit.
>>486976
OP. You've made me homesick. My mind is made up, I must find my way home. I'm currently stuck in West Kentucky and haven't been back to WA in about 5 years.

Hummus is the most /out/ dip, all that protein.
>>486866
I read that as Chocobo.
>>487348
neat. old beech trees that aren't dying of canker.
>>489586
The smaller ones nearby had it, but none of the bigger ones. Do you know if they resist infection if they reach a certain size?
>>489598
Bosque de Arrayanes - Villa La Angostura, Argentina
>>489598
Where I live the size of the tree doesn't seem to be a factor. I think it has to do with infection spreading through the stands and ideal conditions (moisture). Over-mature trees are always more susceptible to diseases but there's a real problem with canker in beech trees. It's sad cause they're real neat and they retain their leaves and make winter better.

A lot of the pics in this thread aren't even good tier...
Caledonian forest
ancient pine temperate rainforest

>bitches dun kno bout my lichen and moss
Mossman Gorge in Queensland

They really are a great old-growth species. Where i'm from on the east coast of Canada you'd be hard pressed to find any beech young or old that's not riddled with canker to the point of being unrecognizable.

There are certain races and subspecies that purportedly have genetic resistance.
